Recapture Deposits and Younger Consumers with Embedded Credit Reporting
Financial institutions are under pressure to attract younger customers, strengthen retention, and show measurable impact in financial wellness. Traditional checking products have failed to keep pace — but consumer-permissioned data and credit-building without debt are changing the game.
Join Ron Shevlin of Cornerstone Advisors and Christian Widhalm, CEO of Bloom Credit, for a fireside chat on how innovative institutions are turning checking accounts into credit-building engines. Featuring new data from Cornerstone Advisors and client stories from leading credit unions, this webinar will cover:
- Why consumer-permissioned data represents the next frontier in deposit growth.
- What credit unions and banks can learn from fintech strategies to attract younger demographics.
- Practical steps for launching the first differentiated checking product in years.
- How your members can see an average 25-point credit score increase
